Pros

Discount, Top of range software and resources, Job Security, Policies/support from HR.

Cons

Culture of one-upping each other and cliquey management circles that look after each other and no one else. Inexperienced middle management leading to motivation being the gutter. No exit interview, no one knows or cares why I left and I even reached out to senior management afterwards - no reply. Awful attitude to talent retention. People continue to leave the toxic digital team and its no wonder why. BS 'stretch opportunities' which basically means 'work the job you want, without additional pay, for an unknown amount of time and we will probably not think about actually changing anything'.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
